Making what matters work at Eaton takes the passion of every employee around the world. This role ensures our designs meet customers' expectations and any applicable industry standards by collaborating with global engineering teams and performing system and component level analysis and trade studies, often requiring development of new techniques. Within our Aerospace Modeling and Simulation team, the Lead Engineer designs, analyzes and optimizes Hydraulic / Fuel systems, including pumps and motors, valves and other components, using Computer-Aided-Engineering techniques (CAE) for Aerospace Systems. Remote work will also be considered if located w/in 200 miles of the following Eaton Locations:Ĭleveland, OH, Los Angeles, CA, Jackson, MS, Grand Rapids, MI, Southfield, MI, Fort Worth, TX, Providence, RIįrom commercial fleets to mission-ready military aircraft, Eaton is preparing for the future of air travel with innovative products and services designed to improve aircraft availability with increased efficiency and performance. This position can be based at our Jackson, MS or Los Angeles, CA facilities. However, from time to time, they may also be tasked with developing simulations which have a graphical user interface (GUI), so that the performance of the solution can be visualised.īased on the performance of the solution in the simulated environment, changes can be implemented and improvements can be made.Eaton Corporation is currently seeking an Aerospace Modeling & Simulation Engineer to join our team. Often, simulations engineers simply develop numerical simulations and draw conclusions based on the results of the equations that have been processed. During this process, simulations engineers model a range of different scenarios and variables in quick succession to really put the technical solution through its paces and make sure all the bases are covered. Initially, this process involves analysing the customer’s needs and liaising with other engineers.Īfter this consultation period, simulations engineers focus their efforts on solving complex mathematical problems and applying their knowledge of scientific phenomena, such as thermodynamics, fluid dynamics and quantum mechanics.īased on all this scientific analysis, simulations engineers use computer programming languages, such as C++ and Fortran, to model simulated environments. So what does a simulations engineer actually do?įirstly, simulations engineers need to understand the complex environment and the physical components of the technical solution that they are tasked with simulating. Simulation offers flexibility and efficiency as well as cost-effectiveness. It saves time, it allows the company to cut down on costs, and it means the solution can be tested in situations where physical testing would be impossible.įor instance, if you’re working on a robot which will be used to collect soil samples on Mars, you can’t send a new prototype out into space every time you want to test the durability of one small component. When an engineering company is working on an incredibly intricate and expensive project, such as a new helicopter, satellite or submarine, simulation is massively advantageous. They use their technical expertise and knowledge of computer simulation technologies to test the performance, durability, safety and functionality of engineering solutions in a virtual environment. Simulations engineers play a vital role in complex engineering projects.
